It wouldn't be too terrible of a buy at that price, but around $600 to $650 is where I don't think you can go wrong on this one.

Unfortunately it's not an SS rifle, that's a 7 below the eagle. You should post more pictures of the rifle though!

Awesome pictures! Yeah I honestly don't know how they are still being used today. With the rim lock alone being a big problem for me at the range I couldn't imagine relying on the weapon to save my life. It's already hard enough to fix without people shooting back. lol
